Time

I read that 25 millions people watched the finale of Frasier last night. That is 25 millions person-hour. I am wondering what if those time were used otherwise, just may be someone would have lived in a better world. I am trying to remember some of my friends birthdays: HCM 1205 miss tea 5678 Can you guess who they are? No way, I bet I would not understand it come tomorrow.
